...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
}}
''…And Then You Shoot Your Cousin'' is the eleventh studio album by American hip hop band The Roots. The album was released on May 19, 2014, by Def Jam Recordings.
According to Black Thought, the album is conceptual like the previous one, but unlike ''Undun'', ''…And Then You Shoot Your Cousin'' features several characters in this story, not just one. Black Thought described the album as a satirical look at violence in hip hop and American society overall.
==Release and promotion==
In July 2012, Questlove said on his Twitter account that the title of The Roots' next album would have the initials ''&TYSYC'' and that it was being recorded, with a different sound to expect than from ''Undun''. In the November 12, 2012 issue of ''The New Yorker'', Questlove revealed that the album is tentatively named ''& Then You Shoot Your Cousin''. In a June 2013 interview with Fuse TV, Questlove said he would prefer to release an album in the first quarter of the year, and that he also had "...two or three secret, major musical projects that I'm working on that I can't really talk about." In February 2014, in an interview with ''XXL'', Black Thought said that the album would be a concept album in the spirit of ''Undun'', saying: "We’re close to being done on it, it’s coming soon, hopefully sometime this Spring. It’s called ''And Then You Shoot Your Cousin''. It’s conceptual; it’s another concept album in the spirit of ''Undun'', but it’s not just about just one kind of character, we create quite a few different characters in this record. It’s satire, but in that satire it’s an analysis of some of the stereotypes perpetuated in not only the hip-hop community, but in the community. I don’t know if that makes any sense." He also said that the concept album would be centered around more than one character, saying: "We created some of these characters that we kind of see. We as artists, musicians, Philadelphians, New Yorkers, we as black men, we’re familiar with very many of these characters, and we kind of introduce them to the rest of the world in a manner that makes them more easily understood than maybe seeing it."〔 He also explained that the album would be on the shorter side, saying: "Hopefully you’ll get something new from it every time you listen to it, you’ll hone in on something different. It’s short enough to do that, to take in, to digest in one sitting, so to speak. I think right now it’s at maybe 34 minutes; there may be one or two musical things added on to the record that I know is the record at this point. But I don’t think it will be any longer than 36 or 37 minutes in its entirety. So in that, it’s short enough to digest, but it’s gonna be dense. So dense that maybe in one sitting you’ll listen to it and only listen to the piano and string arrangements, and then you’ll listen to it again and you’ll get into the actual words that are being said, and you’ll listen again and get into some of the other musicality. There’s very many layers to this record, but it doesn’t take place over very much time."〔 On April 7, 2014, DJ Kast One premiered their first single from the album, "When the People Cheer", on Hot 97.
